#Yusuke Kagarin (ic)

"What am I drinking?" Yusuke echoed, eyebrow raising. Taking a sip, a faint smirk graced his features before replying, "It's a virgin Cuba Libre, though I prefer lemon to the usual lime."

Yusuke didn't know why the young master would ask him to be his date, unless this was something he needed an informant for. Someone to get information while posing as his partner. The part about payment must mean he'd pay more than the usual rate, which would help a whole lot with his father's next treatment predicted to be pretty hefty.

"I don't have any problem with it. Tonight's actually my night off from the bar, so I'm free. Just tell me when you need me to be ready."

"So...I need a date to this stupid fucking party one of the other families is putting on tonight for their daughter's wedding. I know it's last minute, but I'll pay you if you come with me."

It was rather impressive, how quickly Kazuichi managed to scale the bartender like a mere tree, all the while screeching as he wrapped himself around the taller man's torso in a tangle of limbs: "Spider! Kill it! Kill it!!!" //just picture rapunzel and flynn rider in that one scene lol

Surprisingly, Yusuke didn't even flinch at the sudden weight added to his shoulders, immediately adjusting his balance. He couldn't help the small chuckle that escaped upon seeing what it was that Kazuichi was screaming about: a tiny spider. "It's just a little guy. He's harmless," the bartender commented, one hand coming up to comfortingly pat the other's back. "Imagine if someone yelled for someone to kill you every time they saw you," he continued as he made his way over to grab something to move the little critter outside.

"If you think this is funny, ya should've seen him try to play with my hair earlier. Are ya sure ya aren't datin' a cat?" Yusuke responded to the yakuza heir's remark in jest as he handed him off. He shouldn't be surprised how tight Seto's grip could be considering his ultimate, but it took more effort than he'd like to admit to get him to let go. As soon as the little bundle of lanky limbs detached from him, they wrapped tightly around the new person supporting him.

"Right, I'll let them know, though you should probably be expectin' a round of apologies next time ya visit. Everyone was pretty freaked out when I told them he was your lover. I gave him some before we left, but make sure he drinks plenty of water in the mornin', too," the bartender commented, watching his childhood friend boss flit over the little thief. Said thief having kept his tight hold on the other's neck to drag him into bed as well and cling to him there. He turned to leave at the dismissal, waving it off with a, "Dad's starting a new treatment in a few weeks. As long as I get the day off, ya can call it even. You and Nat should stop by some time. He always asks about you two." With that said, he left to get some sleep before classes.

Once Yusuke was gone, the silent sobs that had dampened Yusuke's shoulder the whole walk over started again with a renewed fervor. "Shp-shp-shpur... shpla..shparrow.. F-f-f-f-f-f-fuyu.... mmm... IIIIImmmm shooooo... sho sho sho... sherry. Mm shirry... ushelesh... Mm ushelesh... pl-pl-pleash.. pl-pleeeeeaaashhhe d-don't trwo me owt. Mm... Mm trwying.. Mm weewwy am! Ah d-d-don' wanna be usheleshh." His stutter mixed with the sobs and drunk slurring to make an almost incomprehensible mess.

But what he said was true. He really had been trying so hard to be useful to the Kuzuryu Clan in the only ways he knew how. But everything fell short. And when the feelings of dread and shame at his own worthlessness tried to rear their ugly heads, he hid at the bottom of a bottle. Or 15.

"Fuckin' shit, cold ass, f-f-fucking hell-" Half formed through chattering teeth, Fuyu had his arms wrapped tightly about himself as he shuffled in close for warmth. "Hug me, hug me right the f-fuck now, I can't feel my f-f-face."

Hearing the string of curses as the yakuza heir came in from outside, Yusuke couldn't help but chuckle at the extreme reaction. "Alright, alright," the bartender said through his laughs as he moved to wrap his arms around Fuyuhiko. The smaller man's face was at the perfect height to be enveloped in his chest. "There you go, Little Master. Nice and toasty for you."

[nickelsdrocs]

"Sure do," Yusuke replied. With that, he opened up the kitchen's fridge to fish out another can of coke. "You want me to do the whole song and dance of a 'virgin Cuba Libre'?" he joked.

Somewhat similar to Yusuke, Kazuichi was also still in work mode, the main difference being that he had never left it. Going from a late night right into an early morning, the bags under his eyes were large enough they could be used as a toolbox themselves. "Got any more 'virgin Cuba Libres'? Fridge in my shop ran dry an hour ago, and I still have shit to do. I need the caffeine hit so I don't die. Or I guess, so I don't fall asleep under a car again. Really fucks with my back..."

Chuckling lightly at the mechanic's reaction, Yusuke replied, "Yeah, I guess it is. But calling it a 'virgin' Cuba Libre is better promotion than just calling it a soda. Guess I'm still in bartending mode."

He had had a late night last night and pretty much went straight to bed after getting back from the bar. Sometimes, he finds that he wakes up still in work mode.

"So it's just a fuckin' soda, then."
